AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan walked off the field after being subjected to racist chants by Udinese fans during a top-tier Italian league game on Saturday, prompting the match to be suspended briefly during the first half.

Shortly after Milan had scored to take a 1-0 lead and Milan was about to take a goal kick, Maignan signalled to his teammates to stop, walked to the referee and then to the sideline. Teammates attempted to console Maignan on the sideline but then the France international took his gloves off and walked down the tunnel leading off the field.
